NEW FEE STRUCTURE – SEPTEMBER 2019

Unfortunately, we have to increase monthly fees from September 2019.  Last year our hall hire costs were increased across all venues and they were increased again in April.  In addition to increased costs a rigging/de-rigging charge was also added this April.  We have tried to continue with our current payment structure for as long as possible however, this is no longer viable.  Therefore, fees have been increased by £4.00 per month (£1.00 per week).  As previously we are keeping costs low for gymnasts training increased hours per week.  This will impact gymnasts training only one session the most so if gymnasts would like to increase training hours please email.  If anyone has any issues with payment for their gymnast please let us know via email, we would offer support to anyone who would be unable to afford the increase.  The update pricing structure is listed below.    

All standing orders should be increased for September.  Please remember standing orders should be paid on the 5th of the month.  Once the standing order has been amended please email the club confirming the change has been made and confirming the sessions your gymnast isattending – acrogymnastics@hotmail.co.uk.   

BRITISH GYMNASTICS MEMBERSHIP

This year parents/carers will pay the insurance fee directly to British Gymnastics.  Insurance payment will be remaining the same as previous years as far as we know – £17.00 recreational/£41.00 competitive.  This will all be done by the usual process however, this year when you add the insurance to the basket you will be asked to make the payment.  Therefore, at the registration days a £10.00 registration fee will be all that is paid to the club.  Existing members can register week commencing Monday 26th August.  You are able to register at every session that week.  If details have not changed from previous then a new registration form will not need to be completed however, all registration fee (£10.00) should be paid on these dates.   Please note that the registration fee is per family so if carers/parents with more than one gymnast at the club will only be required to pay £10.00.  If you’re transferring the registration fee please confirm this via email.  

IN-HOUSE COMPETITION – NOVEMBER 2019

 

We have organised an in-house competition for Sunday 3rd November.  This will be held at The Leisuredrome, Bishopbriggs.  The competition will be both acrobatics and tumble.  We will be using our 18m inflatable tumble track and new floor area.  All gymnasts can get involved! Recreational gymnasts who would like to take part would compete in tumble.  Competitive gymnasts can compete in both tumble and acrobatics. 

All gymnasts who would like to take part should pay a £5.00 entry fee.  Competitive gymnasts competing in both disciplines are only required to pay one entry fee for both disciplines.  

We have the hall booked for 10:00 – 14:00.  Once we have the full entry confirmed we will be able to advise the running order and times soon afterwards.  

We ran this event last year and all of our gymnasts seemed to really enjoy it! A great opportunity for our competitive gymnasts to get used to an audience and an introduction to competition for our recreational gymnasts.  We would encourage everyone to take part in this event!  

 

Entry fee is due by Sunday 8th November.  Once again if you’re transferring this fee please also confirm via email.  

 

Please note there will be no training at The Leisuredrome on this date.

 

DYNAMITE TUMBLE SESSION

 

We currently have a tumble session on a Saturday 14:00 – 15:30 at Dynamite Gymnastics Club in Clydebank.  This is an excellent session as it allows gymnasts to practice runs on a competition track.  We have a few spaces which our competitive gymnasts would be able to fill.  Gymnasts must be able to flip on their own to be considered for this class – if your gymnast meets this criteria and would like to be selected for this class please contact us via email.  We already have several new competitive tumblers who have joined our Friday night session at The Leisuredrome and are progressing well.  Our current fundraising is going to be put towards a fast track that will make a huge difference to our tumble programme.  

 

 

CHRISTMAS PARTY 2019

 

This year our Christmas party will be taking place on Saturday 14thDecember at Meadowburn primary school 09:00 – 11:30.  All gymnasts are able to attend the party regardless of normal training sessions – lots of games and prizes for everyone! We will put out reminders nearer the time but please put this date in your diary.
